7 Using the Selected Channel section Gate operations Here's how you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to operate the internal gate. Note The PM5D provides two types of built-in gating; GATE and DUCKING. These operate in different ways. This means that if you want to use a gate, you must load gate settings of the desired type from the gate library, and then edit the parameters as desired. 1 Press a [SEL] key to select the channel you want to control. Gate is available only for input channels or ST IN channels. 2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the INPUT [GATE/COMP] key several times to access the GATE LIBRARY screen. GATE LIBRARY 4 After selecting a library item, click the RECALL button located at the lower left of the library list. The library item you selected in step 3 will be recalled to the channel you selected in step 1. 5 In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, press the GATE [ON] key to make the LED light. The gate of the selected channel will be activated. 6 You can use the gate controls of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the gate parameters. The amount of gain reduction produced by the gate is shown by the GATE GR meter in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. GATE GR meter GATE [ON] key RECALL button Scroll bar In the GATE LIBRARY screen you can store gate settings in the library, or recall existing data from the library. 3 Move the cursor to the scroll bar of the library list in the lower right of the screen, and turn the [DATA] encoder to select the library item that you want to load. (The library item selected in the list is highlighted.) Numbers 001-004 for which an "R" is shown at the right of the list contain read-only preset library items. Numbers 001-002 contain preset library items of different types. It is convenient to use these library items when you want to select a specific type. These numbers correspond to the different types as follows. Number Name 001 Gate 002 Ducking Type GATE DUCKING Hint • The type of the currently selected gate is shown in the GATE PARAM screen (➥ p.289). • The GATE LIBRARY screen also provides other library settings suitable for a wide variety of instruments or purposes. You can also save your own settings in the library. • For a detailed explanation of each type of gate, refer to the Appendices (➥ p.321). Note The THRESHOLD LED will not light if the threshold level is between -55 dB and -72 dB. Hint • For details on the function of the gate controls, refer to p.67. • More detailed parameters for the gate (selection of key-in signal, stereo link on/off) can be edited in the INPUT GATE/ COMP function GATE PARAM screen (➥ p.289). • You can also cause the GATE PARAM screen to appear automatically when you operate a gate control. This setting is made in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen (➥ p.204). 72 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner's Manual Operating section
